Regarding TU'ing bosses etc I did implement a temporary fix on most bosses to stop it and Sundays reboot adds a dedicated DB Column that will allow us to prevent TU on any mob we like (Not just limited by level) so yes this is something we already considered and knew about. Though we missed Web's clearly.
Im cool with whatever you do but please bear in mind the following points.
- @ level 49 the average chance of a WB TUing first hit.. for me with luck 3 and Mc 10-50 is about 1 in 5/6. Feel free to check and confirm.
- Most of the time it takes on average of 3-10+ TU s on a boar. A few times 15+ where it just wont TU
- Many of the people complaining on this thread are warriors (who can with their massive DEF run around st7 not really worrying about the damage they take. If they get stuck they can use XHM and TDB / FS to demolish the mobs pretty quickly and run/dash out of the lure... then lure on us wizards.. as has happened 3/3 times that i have been to ST7 since i hit 49. All the time even with sheild even at 49 we take a fair bit of damage from constant a barrage of mobs. Altho we can kill a lot of them fairly quickly it still does hurt. Also when these warriors that are complaining about us wizards do get hold of a boar they can finish it up relatively quickly too as the average war with average kit can dish out far more damage on a single target than a wizard can. I think in my last hunt in ST7 me and Excalibur managed to kill about 8-9 boars in total whereas the two wars who were hunting solo at the same time managed about 3-5 each. That was WITH me using my TU and with Excalibur helping me. Also i had 5 pets and so did Excalibur, we couldnt just pot up and r/t down to the cave like a warrior can... all these little points seem to be forgetting in threads like these when we are getting complained about. Taming takes anywhere from 15-20 mins, it takes time and effort/energy to play a wizard which is not required by the other classes, mostly warrior who can just get up go and smash what they want.
- Many of the wars that are complaining are approximately 43-45 (apologies if im mistaken but i dont think i am) and you can bet when they get to level 49, they will chop up white boars so fast it will make ur head spin, lol. Average war vs average wizard in average kit the war will dish out far more damage on a single target giving them a distinct advantage, but obviously thats what they want as warriors are used to being able to run in, smash up what mob they want while taking minimal damage then run out. Atm they are having to work harder because me and the other level 49 wizards have the *chance* to kill something in one hit. I reiterate tho, at level 49 it is only a "chance" and rarely works 1st time. (But they wont say that on here will they, it will be "OMG WIZARDS KILL IN ONE HIT CHANGE IT CHANGE IT IM NOT USED TO WIZARDS KILLING FASTER THAN ME), Lol.
- If you do decide to change the ability of wizards to TU boars then please increase the drop rate of FF so that we can have a hope of matching their DPS against mobs. (I am a level 49 wizard and so is Theia, it wasnt exactly easy to reach that point you know! that seems to be forgotten amongst these complaint posts! We levelled to such an extent because there are goals and perks for doing so, this for me, pre level 49 was one of them).
I have hunted a lot over the past few weeks and managed to save up a fair amount of gold (pre level 49, not from WB drops before anyone has a go at me..lol) and i am yet to see any FF on sale as they are so rare.
At least if you do increase the drop rate then the wizard and warrior will be on more even footing when it comes to DPS. Cos atm if you do as they are requesting all i will have is my T-Bolt to kill Boars Vs their TDB FS etc and my average kit vs their war average kit i think its pretty obvious who will kill faster... and who will get the most boars per spawn in ST7.
Ultimately, thats what this is all about, they want the balance restored in their favor. But hey, i think if i was a war i might be saying the same.
GO TEAM WIZ
